10 Most Vicious Personal Insults In Wrestling History

4. Paul Heyman Shoots HARD On Jerry Lawler

Jerry Lawler was indicted in 1993 on charges of statutory rape and sodomy. The charges were subsequently dropped.

This is a fact.

It is also a fact that Lawler without confessing to wrongdoing is on record - to police units in Louisville and Indiana - as confirming that he willingly allowed the 13 and 14 year-old accusers into the motel room in which the crimes were alleged to have been committed. Lawler maintains that he let them use the telephone and that the man staying next door saw the girls enter the room also saw them leave within 10 minutes. Meanwhile, a witness - the person who drove Lawler to the motel - signed at Lawler's urging an affidavit stating that they never saw the girls enter.

The case is officially closed, the story not quite as clear. Nobody can say that Jerry Lawler did the things of which he was accused.

Except Paul Heyman, who, when building the Lawler Vs. ECW rivalry on RAW in a March 10 debate, asked Lawler how he was doing "at the seesaws in Louisville".

This was one of the wildest things ever uttered in the history of the programme, and every other word was a hate crime between 1998 and 2007.
